Were you doing just that in South Shields in times gone by? We have archive photographs of people looking around stalls and enjoying themselves on warm summer days in 2010 and 2011.
Are you among them? Or perhaps you recognise our extra market place photo which shows a flash mob from seven years ago.
Take a look and see how many people you can recognise.
